Care and Maintenance

This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq monitor during normal
everyday use.

Protecting the Monitor

To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of damage, follow these
suggestions:
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the
marking label/back plate.
If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for
the product and that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension
cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience receptacle. The overall
system load must not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are used,
the load should not exceed 80% of the power strip input rating.
Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the product by
grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the
cord.
Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not
be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other
openings.
Do not place plants on top of the monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may fall into the
vents.
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, and moisture.
In a two-monitor system, place the monitors as far apart from each other as possible to
lessen interference between them.
Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operat-
ing properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer,
reseller, or service provider.
